The earliest known origin of Halloween is from an ancient Pagan society where they had a festival to end the harvest season. They believe the day also allowed for the dead to rise and zombie up the place, therefore they'd perform a few pagan rituals to keep them at bay.


Smiley: dubious

That's not exactly what they meant...

So, seeing as how most people saying Halloween is evil have a rather Christian stance on the matter..


That's pretty much the problem, in a nutshell.

Smiley: lol That was just to shorten it up a bit.

Evil spirits, sickness, destroying the harvest, etc. etc.

I actually didn't know about the crop destruction thing (got that from the Wiki), I thought they were afraid the spirits caused some kind of plague.

I've actually read that they honor the dead more than they are afraid they will blight anything. They use that time to honor them and say their good byes.

Like the Dia de Muerta.

Not at first. What I mentioned was when it was purely a Gaelic festival. The whole honoring the dead bit was added once Roman rituals were added to it.

Which is still pagan, basically Smiley: tongue

My co-workers (religious freaks) were offended by that website Belkie. I laughed at their expense.

I'm telling you, read some of the hate mail.

There's certainly enough of it.

Just one at random:

ur jesus dress up is really stupid i hope ya no. it's not funny making fun of our lord and savior jesus christ. he died he suffered pain so that u could live and go to heaven....don't u think u owe him something? i mean he gave his life for u.....think about it.

-annonomys

"Melissa Kagerer"


Now you listen here Melissa Ka- I mean "Annonomys", how dare you email me without giving me any clue as to your name, sex, religion, or anything! Totally and completely "annonomys"! Then you call what I've done stupid... like The Great Miss Kagerer is so super-perfect and flawless; a genius of religion, grammar, the English language, etc.

Well Miss "Annonomys" (whoever you are) you need to look in that mirror and ask yourself; "Melissa, am I so perfect that I'm allowed to cast the first stone? Am I, Ms. Kagerer, ready to judge as well as be judged?"

You've covered all your bases this time, but I know that one day you'll slip up and make an error of some sort, some time... somehow. You've just got to! And when you do I will be there pointing at the stupid thing you did and I'll shout: "The Anonymous Melissa Kagerer isn't so perfect anymore now is she?!"

But for now I can only wait... and hope.

Such a racist Smiley: disappointed

You're never going to quit being a virgin with that attitude, Codyy. Well.. unless you go to prison for a hate crime or something. I bet racists don't stay virgins too long in prison.

People were getting hung long before the racial lynchings in the south. Anyone that equates a noose with racism is an idiot.
